Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our
Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon
what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then
relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual
relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best
foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this
knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral
attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious
guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive,
moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages
have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human
sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.

"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)

Hello. Thanks for visiting our evolutionary philosophy of human sexuality
pages. We are currently researching good quality sites relating to our biological
and cultural sexual evolution - as a way of collecting and presenting the
most important / latest knowledge and research.

On the Health Benefits of Sex

To paraphrase a great old slogan for Guinness beer: Sex isn’t just
good, it’s good for you! The evidence is accumulating that the more
sex you have, the better off you are.
Some potential benefits of sex are: easing depression and stress, relieving
pain, boosting cardio health, countering prostate cancer, healing wounds
and fighting aging.

What is Sexual Healing?

From her website: 'Sexual healing encompasses three broad, interrelated
categories of work.
1). Releasing genital armoring and regaining your capacity for pleasure.
2). Utilizing sexual energy to revitalize, rejuvenate, and heal the body.
3). Ending the war between men and women and learning to use our sexual
energy effectively to nurture each other and experience a sense of unity
with all of life.'

STD Education: A Medical, Cultural & Political Problem

Dangerous infections continue to spread through human sexual contact. This
is especially disturbing since, with appropriate precautions, such infections
can easily be avoided. At least one of them can be prevented by vaccination
(Hepatitis B) and the others by safe sexual behaviour, such as the correct
use of condoms.

Engender Health: Reproductive Health Resources

From the website: 'EngenderHealth is an international nonprofit organization
that has been working for 60 years to make reproductive health services
safe and available for women and men worldwide. Based in New York City,
we have 20 offices in the field, and more than 70% of our staff work in
countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas.'

What is Candida? Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

From the website: 'Candida is a naturally occurring yeast that is present
in all our bodies and it is supposed to be there in balance with many other
microorganisms. The problem begins when several factors in our lifestyle
cause the Candida to grow in outstanding numbers and it overtakes all the
other healthy microorganisms.'

IVF & Infertility: Georgia Reproductive Specialists

From the website: 'It is the goal of our physicians and IVF laboratory
team to provide you with the latest women's healthcare innovations to address
infertility, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, and pelvic pain treatment.'
Includes FAQ page, Infertility Research Studies, IVF Patient Manual, Feedback
& Testimonials.

Although masturbation is the standard method for the collection of a sperm
sample, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, other approaches have
been described and assessed. Production of semen using specially designed
condoms (Silastic seminal fluid collection device - SCD) has been shown
to result in samples with better laboratory characteristics than samples
obtained after masturbation or coitus interruptus.

Interactive Human Skeleton & Mind

Interactive games with the human body - build a skeleton, stretch some
muscles, organise the organs, see how the body changes during puberty. Take
a psychological test to see what personality type you are, your brain sex
or memory strength.

Australian Study of Sexual Health and Relationships

The Australian Study of Health and Relationships surveyed the sexual health
behaviours of Australians. The sample consisted of 10,000 men and 9,000
women.
The study found the age of first sexual intercourse has been declining for
the last fifty years, the age of getting married is rising, sexually transmissible
infections appear relatively common, people who identify as gay, lesbian
or bisexual is small, but those reporting a homosexual experience is considerable
greater.

Arousal in Women, Viagra & Erotica: 'All in the Mind'

Scientists have concluded that women achieve most sexual satisfaction through
the stimulation of their brain and not any other organ. After eight years
of tests involving 3,000 women, Pfizer, the company behind Viagra,
the little blue pill that has transformed men's sex lives, has abandoned
efforts to prove that the drug works for females too.
Studies found that even though Viagra induced a greater pelvic blood flow
in women, they did not feel substantially more aroused.

Male & Female Sexual Problems: Mind & Body

From the website: 'Sexual problems are defined as difficulty during any
stage of the sexual act (which includes desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution)
that prevents the individual or couple from enjoying sexual activity. The
causes of sexual difficulties can be physical, psychological, or both.

A Positive Study of Human Sexuality at Midlife

The AARP study conducted in 2004 surveyed a nationally representative group
of adults ages 45 and older to measure attitudes and other factors affecting
their sexuality and quality of life.
For more than half of the respondents, sexual activity is a critical part
of a good relationship and an important factor affecting their quality of
life. A vast majority of mid-life to older adults shows a positive attitude
toward sex. The proportion of men who've tried potency enhancing medicines,
hormones, or other treatments has doubled since 1999.

Sexual Health: An Active Sex Life in Later Years

As we grow older, many of us want to continue an active, satisfying sex
life. But the aging process may cause some changes which affect one’s
ability to have and enjoy sex with another person.
There are several things you can do: Remember that sex does not have to
include intercourse. Make your partner a high priority. Try different positions
and new times, like having sex in the morning when you both may have more
energy. Don’t hurry - you or your partner may need to spend more time
touching to become fully aroused. Masturbation is a sexual activity that
many older people find satisfying.

Few studies have assessed the role of pituitary and gonadal hormones on
age related changes in sexual behavior in healthy men. We conducted an evaluation
of sexual function and behavior in 77 healthy married men aged 45 - 74 years.
Significant age related decreases in sexual desire, sexual arousal and activity,
and increases in erectile problems were noted.

Lifestyle Changes Can Improve Erectile Dysfunction

A study reports that erectile dysfunction is significantly and independently
associated with age, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lack of physical
activity.
As many as 18 million men may be affected with erectile dysfunction in the
United States. The recent development of effective oral medications to treat
erectile dysfunction has raised awareness, however lifestyle changes such
as exercise and nutrition may prevent erectile function.

Want a Good Sex Life in Later Life? Watch your Health

A study from Harvard Health Professionals shows that chronic illness
and the medications used to treat them account for many of the sexual problems
of older men. Sexual dysfunction is most prevalent in men with illnesses
such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke and depression. 'The
secret to preserving sexuality is to stay healthy and to build healthy relationships
- and both require a series of wise choices throughout life.' (Harvey B.
Simon, M.D.)

Analyse
any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of
sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which
life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established;
the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable.
... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice,
his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a
complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts
and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
